Even the best data scientists need support from business and IT units in order to perform their true role.
Data Management
Don't depend on data scientists for data management.
Let your data scientists focus on data science, not data management. For analysis and statistics on enterprise data to provide insight and ROI, data needs to be properly managed first, and then managed and cleansed over time. Currently, many data scientists spend much of their time not manipulating and analyzing data, but rather trying to simply cleanse and ready it for analysis. Focus on data management architecture that consolidates control and access of data as much as possible.
